5 takeaways from 49ers comeback win over Cardinals

In one of their more exciting games of the season, the San Francisco 49ers defeated division foes the Arizona Cardinals 36-26 in a wild game at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Initially, the Cardinals and rookie quarterback Kyler Murray picked up where they left off at the end of their Thursday Night Football loss at home two weeks ago, as Arizona jumped out to a 16-0 early in the second quarter. The worst part was the Niners defense looked beaten and the offense had managed just 30 yards of total offense.

The 49ers responded, however, as quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo found tight end Ross Dwelley, who was once again filling in for an injured George Kittle, for the first of Dwelley’s two touchdowns.
